Some may remember the good chuckle we had last May when Jenny and I hauled 2 14.9 x28 tires home from Colorado on a receiver hitch carrier. Saturday I aired the old rotten tires up on my WD45 to move it to mow under it. I came home from work tonight and the new to me tires were mounted on the ole 45. I’ve wanted them done but the remodel is taking up all my free time and with the heat and humidity I’ve been dreading the task. My back has been the worst it’s been this summer as well. I planned on a cool day. I’ve never paid for tractor tire repair or replacement before. That girl makes me happy.👍 |

Drop it off n let’s see??? Make sure it’s full of gas. The Arkansas humidity will rust the tank otherwise. Does it have 3pt or still snap coupler? He he |

Chris, Jenny’s taken me to the doc several times in the past few months. They want to do surgery. Arthritis on L1 L3 4 and 5 and bad arthritis on both knees. Haven’t decided what to do yet but we’re working on it. Yes the tires will make me happy a very long time.👍 |

Did Jenny do it herself or did she get our famous tire changer from Eastern Washington state to come down and do it? ------------- "If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer" Allis Express participant |

That is a nice treat. I decided to do that when I got my D14 rims done and bought new tubes. Sat on the tailgate and watched em do it. That sure was enjoyable! ------------- D14, D17, 5020, 612H, CASE 446 |

John she hired quality tire out of Berryville Arkansas. He told her it would take 2 hrs but it sounds like it took 5 hrs. I think the Washington State tire changer would have got it done in less than two but what would a hillbilly do with a Beach Master on a Ozark rock farm? |

| Drained/pumped out the 60 gal of fluid in EACH of my 18.4 28s this last year, had one rim bead rotted off and the other tire the casing split between cross bars in two places. So one new wheel and two replacement tires(used) with new tubes and return of the 60gal methanol fluid. Was a SERIOUS Workout. |

She's definitely a keeper and a rare breed like my wife is! Take care of that Lady! Jo Jo was under the hood of the Nova wagon last night helping me run in the new brake lines. She was right in there up to her elbows! LOL! She had her hair back in a pony tail like she usually does when helping me work on the cars. She's a panic!
